The core is virgin PVC reinforced with polyester yarn braiding, then over-braided with 304 stainless steel for added strength and burst resistance. Chrome-plated brass hex connector nuts and integrated washers deliver a dependable hand-tight seal without the need for tools or thread sealant. Rated to a maximum of 180 degrees F and 125 psi, this connector is built to handle typical residential, commercial, and industrial water supply conditions. Licensed plumbers and finish plumbers install this fitting during faucet rough-in and trim-out work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 496-015 is suited for connecting faucets, lavatory faucets, kitchen faucets, and similar fixtures to standard water supply shut-off valves. Both ends are 1\/2 inch female iron pipe (FIP) with an overall hose length of 30 inches. The 30-inch length accommodates most under-sink cabinet depths and provides enough slack to ease alignment during installation. IAPMO listing confirms the connector meets recognized plumbing standards for residential, commercial, and industrial water supply applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e304 stainless steel outer braid over polyester yarn and virgin PVC core for strength and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChrome-plated brass hex connector nuts with washers for a hand-tight, tool-free seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum operating pressure: 125 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum operating temperature: 180 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIAPMO listed for residential, commercial, and industrial water supply use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e30 inch hose length suits most standard under-sink installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation connector for faucets and fixtures with 1\/2 inch FIP water supply inlets, compatible with standard 1\/2 inch FIP shut-off valves in residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified plumbing professionals. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before removing any existing connector or fittings. Hand-tighten the brass nuts onto the shut-off valve and faucet inlet, then snug slightly with a wrench if needed — avoid over-tightening, which can crack the brass nuts or damage the washer seat. Inspect for leaks at both connections after restoring water pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch FIP x 1\/2 inch FIP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHose Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 30 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 125 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 180 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOuter Braid Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: 304 stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Virgin PVC with polyester yarn braiding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNut Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Chrome-plated brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification\u003c\/strong\u003e: IAPMO listed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.425 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: BK\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 496-015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"B\u0026K","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346180407602,"sku":"496-015","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310549805.jpg?v=1782073123","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bk-496-015-stainless-steel-faucet-connector-30-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
